Manadhil oru paattu - Song of the moment - Vol 2

Agreed. I posted a similar comment on one of the compilations. Would really like to see some of the rare songs, not commonly available. Also, extended versions of BGMs would be awesome too - there are too many BGM pieces cut short because the scene ends or interrupted by voices.

Edit: Keeping with the theme of this thread - I was recently watching the movie Sakkarai Panthal and discovered a wonderful BGM piece in the middle that I hadn't heard before.

(from 1:13:08 and runs for about a minute)

Sounds pretty hopeless, sadly.  The way TrendLoud is managing IR-O is not-so-good.  They seem to be improving only now, when the channel has been there at least for the past 5 years.

Adding one more of such UNNOTICED Background Score snippets from Moodupani - a very SHORT barely a minute long, Violin piece, so beautiful beyond words.  Vizhaluku iraitha neer-kind!  IR could have utilized it at least as a prelude/interlude of a superhit song.  Such a great score for such a trivial scene in the movie and also marred by dialogues: (from 49:30 to 50:12)
 

Surprised to see two unusual numbers in this #IR_Official_YT collection (of "rain" songs).

காலங்கள் மழைக்காலங்கள்

மழை வருவது மயிலுக்குத்தெரியும்

Both songs can run on "repeat" for many days for me!

வண்டியில் இந்தப்பாட்டு (ரொம்ப நாளைக்குப்பின்)!

ராசா-ஜானகி-பாலு-கமல்-ஸ்ரீதேவி-பேஸ் கிடார்

இந்தப்பாட்டு இருப்பது ஒரு தனி இடத்தில்!

Señorita என்ற சொல் இந்தப்பாட்டிலும் இதே ஆண்டு வந்த ஜானி படப்பாட்டிலும்


ராசாவுக்கு ரொம்பப்பிடிக்கும் என்று தோன்றுகிறது!

Malayalam song "Kadappurathoru kalyaanam" from an obscure movie SMS (2008).  It is highly unfair and a pity that such GREAT compositions of IR go totally unnoticed.  

A Middle-Eastern themed romantic duet with super-addictive prelude and interludes, featuring the sweet and youthful vocals of Manjari and Madhu Balakrishnan.  Most probably, a wedding-based situation.  Bet you cannot stop listening to it once you have heard it.  And then it sticks to your mind so much that it refuses to leave (as with most pieces of IR music).

The defunct Maha2014 channel had this song.  Luckily, it is still available now:

 

Aaraaro aaraaro - First recorded song of Lata for IR in the Tamil movie 'Anand'.  She also recorded Sathya's Valaiyosai on the same day!

Don't know why - suddenly wanted to listen to the "pookkaL sindhungaL" song today (of nizhal thEdum nenjangaL, a personal favorite right from the time this song came out).

First YT brought the video one :

As the picturization is horrible, I could not go beyond the pallavi and searched for the "audio only" version and was surprised that it got hosted by #IR_Official_YT :

There are many interesting things about the YT :

1. Hosted by IR Official channel
2. But also credits to Echo recording company
3. Copyright "Sony music" - what! Where were they in 1982? How they got it now?
4. The needle sound (possibly from playing the LP) is so loud.

Not sure what is happening to IR's audio rights / copyright / royalty / remastering / quality etc

Listened to this song after a long gap..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSfCvfdtqxY
Many takeaways from this awesome song:
1. Earthly casual singing by Arunmozhi and Swarnalatha
2. Excellent Chorus (as usual)
3. Breezy interludes which are free flowing (how much I miss the free flowing interludes of this era as opposed to needless harmony and cacophonous programming of modern MDs)

Need to relisten to more songs from these years.
